    Just my opinion...I would see what it looked like by cropping a bit off the top and replacing the background grasses with more water via cloning.

    Here is a quick edit to show you what I mean. If I had the original and took my time it would look even better.

    Never be sorry about posting a sandhill shot. Excellent image and you handled the light very well. The comp is very good and I prefer Ric's cloned version.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    thanks for your thoughts on this Ric.. I do see what you mean.. I have several shots of this cropped differently.
    Oh..& btw it is frozen water behind it

    Very nice Dave! thumb.gif It is a wallhanger, but I do like Ric's idea of cloning out the far shoreline.
